The problem is that doing exactly that is what the press is supposed to do.
But they're not doing it, which leaves an obvious vacuum for players in the "international community" to fill. But when they do this, especially when it's Putin, it's instantly dismissed as propaganda by the public, opposing politicians and the media itself, regardless of how factual it is..

I wish someone would boss my out of control government to.
Obama needs to be charged and convicted of treason!

I mean lets be honest here. We can't deny the fact that we've been strategically backing terrorists and other radical regimes all over the world for the last 50 years in the name of Freedom and for the sake of corporations under the guise of fascism.

Don't forget we have to feed the arms manufactures that feed our politicians.

Well, yeah. They're both doing it. An unstable middle east is good for both of them.

To be fair neither of us are. I think its just an inevitability that people in power are assholes. It changes you, and not in a good way.

Accuse... I didn't know that word was used for describing reality.

The record of USA funding Jihadists is now indisputable. When we dropped 103 Pallets of weapons, ammunition, explosives, and gear (reported 50tons) onto "Rebel Controlled" Syrian territory last week then we destroyed all of our credibility in this conflict.
Why? Because the pentagon and White House both admitted over the last month that we cannot find "moderate" Syrian Rebels to train and equip...yet the CIA is training and equipping "some groups".
Ergo, we are training and equipping and dropping ammunition and weapons to Jihadist groups.
Why is that a great idea? Why are both the White House and Turkey and Saudi working to support ISIS and Jihadists (no, there is no substantive difference) when a secular regime in the form of Bashar al-Assad is fighting to prevent a genocide of the Alawite/Christian/Non-Muslim peoples in this fight?
Why did the USA not raise the issue of NATO CHARTER and demand that Turkey CLOSE its borders with Syria 4 years ago to prevent resupply and recruitment for ISIS?
Why is the USA not stopping Turkey from bombing PKK forces that are engaged in fighting ISIS on the ground??
The Biggest Question:
WHY IS TURKEY, a state now run by the Muslim Brotherhood, backing ISIS, and now responsible for pushing 1.5 million refugees off their own soil and into the europe, STILL A MEMBER OF NATO?

"Accuse" seems like poor word choice here. More like, "points out the obvious."
